5 eggs!

2/28/2012

I wanted to quickly update that Ivy and Ki now have 5 eggs in their nest. I'm not expecting any more since Ivy seems to lay an egg every 3 days and we're past due. The usual clutch size for a halfmoon conure is 3-5. Ivy and Ki must be a happy couple!

How exciting! How long does it take them to hatch? How big are the eggs and what color are they?

Linsay,
It takes 22-26 days for the first one to start hatching. Since they are laid 2-3 days apart it will take 10-15 days for all of them to hatch! The eggs are about the size of a nickle and are pure white.

As the babies grow the younger chicks learn from the older ones and once the oldest starts nibbling on adult foods they younger ones follow suit and tend to wean quicker.
